who is morally superior?
Is anyone really?
Is one who sets their own standards & chooses their own path in this life really morally inferior to one who has decided their path has already been chosen & must walk through this life guided by some transcendental entity.
I say I am no less moral than anyone I am however guided by conscious and my own willpower to resist temptations that I myself have chosen to be wrong whether they be by law or in your so called book of morels Does that make me any different than you if you have chosen to be rewarded by heaven and eternal after life where as I make my own decisions in life based on no reward at all, a peaceful death & nothing more. Although I would have to say I was born with a gift of enormous willpower many I have noticed do not posses and must use other outside reasons to make a morel decision or many choices in life
all seriousness aside; hahaahahahahaha

I'm Satanist. I live by my own rules. Just as long as I don't hurt anyone or break laws, I'll be fine.

Nothing is inherently evil just inevitable. If you read the first chapter of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes From the Underground, it does a fantastic job of criticizing the hypocrisy of societal norms and the violent effects of human boredom. Circumstances dictate our actions and who's to say that our souls live outside what we are forced to learn and will be punished for "not knowing better"? Morals are rules for a game and the game is staying alive.

Some people need a moral system of beliefs. As is apparent by the epidemic of STD that has been around for 4,000 years and yes, religion hasn't cured it, but that could be because religion has never been allowed to enforce it.
Science, certainly, hasn't cured it. There was a 10 year period of time in which a shot of Pen VK killed most bugs, but today it don't behave like it used to. It sometimes brings more ills than cures.

Salvation is something that the person with the highest moral standard possible can't earn because it's a free gift. It is not a reward for good behavior, in other words.

There is no "morally superior"..... Because there is always something wrong with a group of people... and, individually, there is always someone greater than ones self......
When one think themselves better than another, they have limited themselves in understanding to just themselves..... There are literally billions of others on this place..... There is no way to uncover that one perfection among men.........

Rules are arbitrary. Morals are meaningless on the street, trying to be a hero gets you killed.

I have strong morals. I am superior to most people, I'm not sure if it is because of my morals, my intellect, or both.

...morally superior than whom...?
I feel that noone is more superior than God because we are just imperfect humans who .make mistakes - sometimes morally and otherwise.
